Our Take:
- A Classic from the '80s: The 1985 Rolls-Royce Corniche represents the epitome of luxury convertibles during the 1980s. Launched as a two-door drophead coupe, it carries the unmistakable British elegance Rolls-Royce is revered for, with its hand-crafted touches and bespoke design that made each car unique to its owner.
- Venerable Bloodline: The Corniche lineage began in 1971 and ran until 1995, with this model sitting right in the middle of its historical arc. It boasts a V8 engine derived from earlier Silver Shadow models, known for its smooth and refined performance that belies its age.
- Driver-Quality Condition: The description notes its status as a "good driver-quality" vehicle, which for a Corniche is quite significant. While it shows some wear and paint crazing, these are typical for a car of nearly four decades, and its continued road-worthiness speaks to its robust construction.
- A Surviving Luxury Icon: Despite its extensive mileage (around 120k miles estimated), this Corniche maintains essential functionality like power soft-top operation and well-preserved interior wood veneer and leather. Its ability to hold suspension height even after sitting for a month is testament to its well-maintained hydraulic suspension system, a hallmark of Rolls-Royce engineering excellence.
